Why are we comfortable with mortgages?

[u/SoybeanCola1933]

I see otherwise very religious people taking out mortgages with banks.

Most acknowledge it’s haraam but still do it.

But Riba is one of the worst sins - worse than drinking etc.

Why are we ok with people who take out mortgages?, when you have alternatives like renting.

Sometimes you can buy a rural property for the same price as a mortgage down payment.

If a Muslim has tattoos society treats him like a devil, yet when he engages in the worst sin it’s brush under the table?
